Pierce Ran

Famous quotes containing the words pierce and/or ran:

    The trouble with this country is that there are too many politicians who believe, with a conviction based on experience, that you can fool all of the people all of the time.
    —Franklin Pierce Adams (1881–1960)

    O born in days when wits were fresh and clear,
    And life ran gaily as the sparkling Thames;
    Before this strange disease of modern life,
    With its sick hurry, its divided aims,
    Its head o’ertaxed, its palsied hearts, was rife—
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
